Abram lived in a city called Ur. He helped his father, Terah, who was a merchant. After Sargon's death, Terah was worried. Many cities near Ur wear under attack. He took his family to live in Hanan. After Terah died, his son Abram thought that he should ask the gods what to do. Abram took a walk that night and God spoke to him! God told him to go to Canaan. God said "If you obey and worship me, you will be the father a new nation. I will give all of Canaan to you, and your children." God changed Abram's name to Abraham, and and his wife's name from Sarai to Sarah. God gave Abraham and Sarah a son in their old age. His name was Isaac. Isaac had a son named Jacob. Jacob's twelve sons were the ancestors of the nation of Israel. I sure hope you enjoyed reading this!
